LEON SHEVCHENKO, OF CORTLAND, NEW YORK.

WATER-ELEVATING DEVICE.

' Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 2, 1919.

Application filed January 1919. Serial No. 272,986.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LEON SHnvoHENKo, a citizen of Russia, residing at Cortland, county ofCortland, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ater-Elevating Devices, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in means for raising water from cisterns, wells or the like, to a higher level so that the same is readily accessible for such purposes as may be desired.

The principal object of the invention is to provide a device, adapted to be manually operated, whereby water may be raised in any desired quantity, from a lower to an upper level, in an easy and expeditious manner.

A further object is to provide such de vices in forms which are relatively inexpensive to construct and, by reason of their simplicity of construction, are available for long and continuous service.

These and other like objects are attained by the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described, and shown in the accompanying drawings, forming a material part of this disclosure, and in which Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view showing the preferred form of the water elevating device constructed in accordance with the invention.

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary transverse sectional view taken on line 55 of Fig. 1, and

Fig. 3 is a bottom plan view thereof.

Referring to the drawings, a relatively long cylindrical tube 20, is provided with a tight cover 21, extending marginally beyond the diameter of the tube 20, and formed with a cylindrical head 22 open at its upper end and secured transversely therein is a bracket 23.

A round rod 24: passes through the central opening in the bracket 23, its downward extending end passing through a central opening formed in the head or cover 21, where it is held in tightly, clamped by nuts 25, while the upper end of the rod is furnished with a crank 26, having an operating handle 27 by which rotary motion may be transmitted to the tube 20.

The lower end of the tube 20 is screw threaded and provided with a cap 28, having in its bottom 29, sector shaped openings 30, between which is a solid bar 31 having set therein a conically pointed pivot screw 32, held by the lock nut 33, the same acting as a guide for the lower end of the tube 20, the screw also clamping the center of a flexible valve 3 1, normally covering the openings 30.

Set in the wall of the tube 20, is a horizontal pipe 35, the same extending outward to a considerable distance within the casing 12, below the plate 14:, the inner end of the pipe 35 having a downturned extension 36, terminating at a point substantially coincident with the cap 28, centrally of the pipe.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a plurality of horizontal pipes 38, enter the vertical tube 20, and are engaged with a five-way fitting 39, in the lower opening of which is se. cured a pipe 41, corresponding with the pipe 36. The tube casing 20 is placed about the tube or pipe 41 in order to protect the latter against injury and climatic influences as well as to make the entire structure compact.

In operation, the parts having been assembled in the manner indicated, the interior of the tube 20 is partially filled with water, whereupon the handle 27 is actuated, rotating the pipe 20, 'at which time water will issue from the plurality of pipes 38, and due to the centrifugal force of the same, a suction is created at the lower end of the tube 36 or 41, raising the valve 3% and cansing water to enter the openings 30, so as to pass into the pipe and from thence outwardly in an obvious manner through the horizintal pipe or pipes, filling the casing 12.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a water elevating device of the character described, the combination of a vertical tubewith a plurality of horizontal pipes entering said tube intermediate its ends, a five-way fitting engaged with said horizontal pipes, a vertical pipe engaged in the lower opening of said five-way fitting, and means for rotating'said vertical tube, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature.

his I LEON SHEVCHENKO.
